When playing the Marklin game we know how to use passenger tickets when moving a passenger though another player's route but how do we use someone else's route to complete one of our tickets if there's no other way round. (as you use stations in Europe)
Hope this makes sense to someone.
Sorry I forgot to say we are playing the 2 player game so cant use the double tracks.

thank you.
This means that you would have to decide if the value of the merchandise was worth sacrificing the value of your ticket. Is that right?
Another question: If your ticket finishes at the beginning of another persons completed ticket can you carry on by using your passenger cards to claim a lot more merchandise tokens or are they only to be used (as the picture in the rules shows) in the middle of your ticket.

I don't think you pick between your passenger and ticket...they are separate.

Your passenger can be moved on any turn (provided he's been placed on the board in a prior turn) in lieu of picking cards, playing trains or collecting tickets. When you move a passenger, he goes along routes you have, collecting merchandise. If you want to move him on a route you DON'T have trains, you can spend one passenger card to move him on someone else's train route. For each time you do this, you spend one passenger card.

Passengers have no bearing on tickets whatsoever. Passengers are activated on any turn instead of doing other actions (and you only have 3 of them).

You still are trying to play trains and finish tickets, so you have to decide whether you want to use your passengers, and when they get the most value (usually mid-game, where there are high merchandise values and quite a few train routes)
